Villa Merah

10/10

We had the opportunity to spend a few days in this wonderful house, one of the most beautiful places we stayed in Indonesia where we traveled extensively. The location of the house is perfect, not too far from the beach- a nice 15 minute walk- and at the same time secluded and peaceful, among lush vegetation. The well tended landscape garden is an oasis of peace and beauty, and the swimming pool a highlight, both by day and by night when it is magically lit. The house itself is very pleasant and comfortable, decorated with excellent taste and with attention paid to every little detail. All the members of the staff were great, the service was excellent and they were all very attentive to all our needs. The village of Pemuteran is a lovely fishing village with a nice sandy and shady beach with very good snorkeling and diving and some nice beach resort restaurants and cafes with tables and sunbeds right on the sand with a very pleasant atmosphere. The only disadvantage of Villa Merah is that it feels so good to be there, that you risk not to see much of the surroundings! Highly recommended!

My Family of 7 have just stayed for a wonderful week at Villa Merah. Arriving there is a fantastic experience as the spaciousness and atmosphere of the lovely gardens and the general setting brings a smile to ones face. The kids were very soon off exploring the huge gardens and begging to jump in the pool, while the adults were busy taking in the lovely open layout and wonderful artistic touches of the house itself. There are brilliant original paintings (by the owner, a well known artist) hanging on the walls and authentic artifacts from around Bali arranged tatefully about the property. I particularly loved the main entrance door which is an intricately carved masterpiece! Mornings were spent enjoying the dappled sunlight while feasting on great breakfasts prepared by the staff ( who were always happy to help but not at all intrusive), fun afternoons snorkelling at the beach or playing in the pool and gardens and great evenings cooking fresh fish on the BBQ. I would recommend having a car available as we did so you can pop to the shops, beach or whatever. I would definitely say the pics here don't do the place justice and we hope to have the chance to return sometime soon for some more perfect relaxation time.

This beautifully decorated and luxurious villa in Pemuteran is paradise on earth. The staff are friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. Ketut the house keeper is a wonderful cook and very nice person. The house and gardens are immaculately kept. There has been so much love and attention to detail put in this property, it is a home from home rather than just a holiday let. The pool is great. The walk to the beach and village gives a very interesting slice of Balinese life. The beach is lovely with great snorkelling. There are resorts, restaurants, a bakery, shop and scuba diving companies all within reasonable distance. It is a truly wonderful place run by thoroughly nice people. I cannot recommend this place more and hope to return.

What a nice atmosphere and surroundings! Off from the main road in Pemuteran you find the villa in a beautiful garden with swimmingpool. The villa is nice decorated and had enough space an places to relax. Every morning fresh baked eggs en fruit juice on the veranda makes you feel happy to start the day. The rooms are big, also the bathroom. Our stay felt like a 5 star hotel! We definitely will come back!

Villa Merah is a wonderful place in a paradise-like secluded corner of Pemuteran. What struck us most was the attention to detail that the owners had paid in constructing and decorating the house and garden, giving villa Merah a very personal touch. The warm hospitality and excellent cooking by the caretaker couple of the villa further added to the feeling of comfort and luxury. We would highly recommend villa Merah to anyone looking for an exclusive and tailor-made stay on Bali.
